On 24 June, Moses Chan (陳豪) tried out his costume for TVB new series Opera Rouge (水髮胭脂). It was rumored that Wayne Lai (黎耀祥) rejected this series criticizing it as a "plastic drama" (drama without content) and Aimee Chan refused to film Lord of Shanghai (梟雄) because of De Quervain's syndrome (媽媽手). As a result, Moses picked up the offer as a second choice for drama Opera Rouge for his wife. Moses denied the rumor: "Every role is an opportunity. Wayne accepted to film in Lord of Shanghai and coincidentally I was free. As an actor, I have to work when I can."

Baby is 6 months old, weighs more than 20 pounds

Moses disclosed that Aimee Chan (陳茵媺) still had to do physical therapy: "Doctor said this is an initial reaction for mothers. I'm having problems the more I carry the baby. Now, I watch my hands when I carry him. The baby is 6 months old and he's already over 20 pounds, he is more of the chubby kind." Asked if Aimee needs one year to make a comeback, Moses said: "No, let's wait for her to reply to everyone's question. I absolutely support her in filming."

Joyce Koi (蓋鳴暉) wished that next time she can collaborate with Wayne Lai and also helped out in denying the "plastic drama" rumor: "Opera Rouge is relaxing and similar to the situational drama type, it is not a boring drama."

Moses and Aimee Chan’s Son’s Face Revealed

When Moses Chan and Aimee Chan’s son, Aiden Joshua Chan, was born in December 2013, the couple shared only a photo of Aiden’s small hands holding Aimee’s finger. Since then, the TVB artistes have kept their distance from the media to shield their son from the public’s spotlight. Aiden’s face remained as a mystery for many months. Aimee, who originally planned to film a new TVB drama in the latter half of the year, decided to prolong her hiatus so she can take care of Aiden for the rest of the year. Allegedly, Aimee plans to breastfeed Aiden for an entire year, thus she had no choice but to indefinitely postpone her TVB comeback.

Aimee’s delay to return to work may have upset TVB. To make up for the loss, Moses has reportedly agreed to film the new comedy drama Opera Rouge, replacing Wayne Lai. The romantic comedy also stars Joyce Koi. Despite the couple’s secrecy, the Hong Kong paparazzi finally managed to snap a photo of their seventh-month-old son earlier this month. On June 10, while getting off of their seven-passenger minivan to have lunch with their friends, stealthy reporters quickly took a photo of Aiden, who was tucked in Aimee’s arms. The chubby baby shares Aimee’s eyes and Moses’ nose. Moses dotes on little Aiden, and would occasionally rub his bald head every few minutes.

Aimee had on a cast on her left wrist, and it is assumed that she has De Quervain syndrome, also known as “mother’s wrist.” According to reports, the couple’s minivan was purchased with the sole purpose of shielding Aiden from persistent photographers. Normally, the couple would use other transportation means when leaving their home. Moses and Aimee also seem to know the paparazzi’s stalking schedules, as whenever they leave their home with Aiden, they would choose the earliest hours of the day to evade reporters.

Outbound Love' Celebrates Regain of High Ratings Peaked at 31 Points 

TVB series Outbound Love's TV ratings have increased. Up until today, the average rating is 29 points with a peak rating of 31 points. Yesterday the cast including Ruco Chan, Aimee Chan, Tony Hung and Lin Xiawei (Rosina Lam) celebrated the success. The on-screen couples fed their partners cake to celebrate Valentine's Day. Aimee said: "I'm pleased to hear the audience are still supporting us after the new year break. The series is about to get exciting, it will get better and better. My family of 3 watches the series together, sometimes I carry my son with one hand and watch the series on my iPad with the other. My son is beginning to listen to sound/voices. At the time, baby also participated in the shooting, he brings us so much luck!" 

When Cindy Lee and other good friends went to send new year greetings to Mr. and Mrs. Chan, they were only allowed to take photos of a sleeping baby Aiden. Does Aimee not want to expose Aiden's looks to the public? Aimee explained its just a device to let parents watch over their babies, it was not something to prevent friends from seeing her baby. 

Tony laughed and said his friends are not used to seeing him in TV series. He said: "They are more used to watching me on travel shows. It felt strange seeing me in a TV series and they even teased that I'm the 'Expression King' because my expressions were really exaggerated. In the coming year, I will be concentrated more on filming series. Travel shows, I will only be doing one per year. If Samantha Ko wants to be my partner, I'm afraid I won't be able to concentrate." Ruco Chan expressed the ratings going back up is a source of encouragement. He hopes for good results during the finale, so they can have another celebration.

Aimee disclosed she'll be splitting the bill with Ruco and the producer. As for the ratings, Aimee expressed despite the Lunar New Year holiday, the series still got a peak rating of 31 points which isn't bad at all and all that hard work filming in Malaysia paid off. 

Aimee just became a mother not long ago, she plans to maintain good health and concentrate on taking good care of her son. She probably won't film another series until mid or end of the year. Asked if she'll miss her son when that time comes? Aimee laughed: "Sure because baby is growing everyday, but I also really miss filming. When I was watching the series, all the feelings came back. (What does your husband Moses Chan think about that?) He told me to go pursue my own dream. My dream is to be a good actress, but my other responsibility is to raise my son and I hope I can balance between the two." Asked if she plans to throw a 100th day party for her son? Aimee said she may. Asked if she'll invite friends from the industry? She said: "We have many friends from the industry, but I like to keep a low-profile." She expressed she and Moses still hasn't come up with a perfect Chinese name for baby Aiden yet. 

Samantha Ko disclosed she caught the My Love from the Star 'poison', her highest record was watching the drama 3 nights straight without sleeping. She watched so much, she couldn't even open her eyes and the following day, she had to film TVB show Find a Good Man (搵個好男人). Asked if she wanted to find a boyfriend like 'Do Min-Joon' (Kim Soo-Hyun's role in the drama)? She said: "Yes. Whenever I encounter trouble, he will come out and rescue me. Kim's acting is also really good, I can learn from him. (Did your mother hurry you to get married during the Lunar New Year holiday?) She's been rushing me to save up more money so I can buy a home. If the housing prices drop this year, there is a high possibility I can get one." 

Also, TVB announced Outbound Love's two hour finale on Sunday averaged 32 points and peaked at 35 points (at 10:52pm during the last few minutes of the episode), about 2.27 million people were watching. The 22 episode series averaged 26 points. 

Aimee Chan: Being Parent is Not Easy; Moses is My Rock; Goal to become TV Queen

Aimee Chan: Being Parent is Not Easy; Moses is My Rock; Goal to become TV Queen 

Aimee Chan talked a lot about her baby caring experiences in her exclusive interview with [Good News]. Aimee named her son "Aiden Joshua", just by that we can see she has high expectations on her son. "I don't think its easy at all. I have to take the time to learn many things and now I have even more appreciation for my mother who worked so hard raising me! Everything about caring for a baby is difficult! From feeding him to changing his diaper to giving him baths, and when he cries you need to know what he wants.... it is not easy at all. With him as a challenge, I have to learn to solve problems every day. Because I'm a new mother, I have to learn everything. Because every baby has different personality, the most important is to learn your baby's personality! Babies are humans, they are living and have their own personalities and feelings. They have their own thoughts and capabilities. So, its like getting to know a new person. You must have confidence in yourself!" 

Parents Must Be Mind Readers 

As a parent, it turns out you have to know how to read minds. Aimee said: "Aiden doesn't sleep through the night, he's an active baby. He's very cute, clever and a fast learner. He will give you a reaction quick and already knows how to communicate with you! Just watching his eyes and mouth, I know what he wants to say. I've brought him home for several weeks now and been chatting with him, he understands what you're trying to say. When he grows up, he may become a giant opinionist, haha. Aiden is absolutely a ponderous baby. Sometimes it feels like he wants to say something to me, but unfortunately I don't understand. I really have to know how to read minds!" 

Ultimately, is Mom (Aimee) better at baby caring or is Dad (Moses) better? Aimee laughed: "Haha! Luckily I think both are pretty okay. We're both learning and we do everything together. We make decisions together and we're united as one family. So far so good!" 

What will little Aiden grow up to be? A pilot? A scientist? A singer? An artist? Or a coffee seller? Only the Heaven knows! Aimee and Ah Mo (Moses) just wish good health for the baby. Have they started looking into schools? Aimee said: "Not yet! I heard its a really difficult and troubling process. Its going to be a headache! I haven't thought that far yet, but my friends who are parents have given me tips. We will have to do some research on every school, but Aiden is just 6 weeks old. He's still very young. We will just concentrate on keeping him healthy now. 

Career Goals Never Changed, Striving to become TV Queen One Day

Now that Aimee is married and a mother, will she limit her future development? She was a little worried herself: "I hope not! I just think acting doesn't involve my personal life. Portraying different roles, whether a young woman or even an old lady, I will try my best to portray the role. Acting is a lot of fun because you aren't being yourself. I want to try portraying a villain or roles with depth. That's where the fun is! I just hope I can keep work and my personal life separate." 

It turns out Aimee's goal had never changed, she still hopes to become TV Queen or even Film Queen one day. "Of course that's my wish! Because I truly enjoy being an actress. I still have a lot of room for improvement, but an actress must have a goal. The further the goal is, the better the results. My passion has not changed, it's still on fire. I look forward to Outbound Love's good results!" 

Felt Moses Chan was the Right Person from the Start 

When speaking of her husband, Aimee firmly said: "He's wonderful! How can I describe him? I know, he is my rock! He gives me a sense of security. We make decisions together, we trust each other and love one another. We communicate and respect each other... these are all the cornerstone of a relationship." Aimee praised her husband, he's a Superman. 

Ah Mo went through twists and turns before encountering Aimee. Actually Aimee had many to choose from, why did she choose Ah Mo? She explained: "When you meet the right person, you will have this feeling. You just know it. Its really hard to list the reasons why, I just like him. He is just right for me. I just feel it!" This feeling doesn't happen often, Aimee said: "I had this feeling from the beginning. I'm not a person that plays around; I'm not someone who goes from one boyfriend to the next. I'm a very serious person. I've felt Ah Mo was the right person from the start. I don't get into relationships just for fun, I really hope to find someone who can be with me for the rest of my life until the end!" 

Already talking about the end of life? Its not considered fast, Aimee was already talking about her next life. If there really is reincarnation, even if she becomes a man and Ah Mo turns into a woman, they will still be together. Aimee: "Of course! Haha! I believe it's our destiny! It's fascinating, when the right time and place comes, you will meet the right person. The most important is two people have those feelings at the same time. You cannot say you don't believe it, it's all destined!"

If there is pressure, it's hard to get into character." When asked if Moses is a marriage partner? She insisted to take it slowly. Currently, they will continue enjoying the dating life and two person world.

Aimee Chan Surprises with Volleyball Skills

Yesterday, Aimee Chan, Selena Li, Ruco Chan, Raymond Wong, and Cilla Kung filmed a beach volleyball match for TVB's series "Love Exceeds the Coastline" in Tuen Mun. Aimee, who was in beachwear, was showing off her thin waist and long legs. She was actually a volleyball team representative in school who also has great ball skills...competing with other cast members. Her spike caused Cilla, who was on the opposite team, to not be able to avoid in time...screaming after getting hit in the face with the ball. Afterward, she laughingly said, "I'm okay...nose did not come off".

Cilla was revealed to have the worst ball skills, even the director revealed that, when filming a serve, it didn't even go over the net after hitting the ball 200 times. On the other hand, Selena was the most accurate. Raymond couldn't help but add, "The crew specially prepared a trampoline for Cilla to help her film the volleyball jumping action". Cilla did not mind being the laughing stock, and she also took a picture with the trampoline upon request. Selena and Aimee expressed that, when they were studying in Toronto, they were on the volleyball team...very happy to play ball together when filming.
